YOUR DOCTOR iS A DRUG DEALER

For those on ADD or ADHD medication: beware!

Just because some charlatan in a white coat prescribes a (relatively) cheap drug does not make it any more effective or safe than alternative treatments. Quite to the contrary, the risks of drugs such as Ritalin increase by the very nature of treatments, which are often times of an undetermined period. This can often lead to years of mental and physical "abuse".

Theories of positive affirmation suggest it is much more effective to concentrate one's mental energy on willing optimistic scenarios such as "I am healthy, I am safe, I am successful."

Rather than attempting to avoid a negative outcome conjured up out of fear, identifying a desired outcome gives a clear objective of one's actual will, and grants the focus needed to obtain it. Fear of success is the only obstacle.
